In certain case: grinding may prove beneficial At th< Colorado station, when feeding west ern sheep on wheat. Cooke observed that much of the grain passed througl the animals unbroken. At the Soutl Dakota station Wilson and Skinner, 01 feeding millet Heed, which are smal and have a hard covering, to lambs found that a large percentage was voided undigested. On grinding tin millet it proved highly satisfactory. The legumes are the prime souret of roughage for sheep, clover and al falfa in the East, alfalfa in the irrl gated regions of the West, and th< cowpen. beggar weed and other plants In the South. Clover, one of the besl of roughages for sheep, should be eul early In order to secure the leaves anil neaus. wnicn art! tlie parts tlesii ? *! Altai:;, hay Is superior even to red clover in pnlatahility and in tlie nu triment it carries When of good qual ity it not only answers for roughage but hi cause of its abundant nutriment !t serve; as n partial substitute for grain, thus materially reducing the cost of feeding and fattening. At the Oklahoma station, cowpea hay proved equal to alfalfa hay for fattening WOMEN AM) "IS" Now be it understood that women arc the most delightful things In the world. Hut their minds are the minds of women, and as different from the minds of men as day is different from night. When a man is engaged at the business of producing something and making money he is in his natural element. Adam lay awake nights P' Mining his crops. Hut when a women sets about making money, she is play-acting. .She may be a conspicuous success at money making, but she is out of her element and she knows it.

For sheep feeding, corn should ^ bo cut early and cured in well-made ?- shocks. The sheep will eat a little s more of the stalks if shredded, but cut s ting will not induce them to eat any - of the coarser parts. I One of the advantages of feeding i silage or roots to sheep is the tonic i K i ajid regulating effect. Both corn silage 11 l and roots are greatly relished, and ? I feeding trials show them to be about " , oqual in nutritive value. The low cost ' i of producing silage should lead to Its ' i more common use.
